“NONDO +”: Neil Feather invented the instrument the NONDO around 1979 or earlier. It consists of a sheet of iron bent by the tension of piano wire running across its concave surface in 2 parallel lines. One way of playing it is to roll a piece of cylindrical metal along the strings & to strike this cylinder & the strings themselves. m(usic(ian’s))m(eeting) 74, December 25, 2016, focused on a history of the NONDO stretching from 1979 to 2016 with an emphasis on recordings of...

"Where We're" is probably one of the strangest movies ever made. Even beginning to explain & describe it is problematic for me. I strung together found filmstrips, found 35mm film, & my own filmstrips into one long filmstrip that's over 2 hours when projected just as that. It seems likely to me that it's the only feature-length experimental filmstrip — or that it, at least, was so at the time I made it from October, 1998, to December, 1999. At 1st, it was just the...

“mm 72 presents: COUGHING (abridged)”: As I wrote in my email announcement of this mm theme: “ Yes, coughing, the bane of concerts. Please bring recordings of concerts in which coughing can be heard. I doubt that I’ll find any relevant movies between now & then. I’m not even sure I can find any audio recordings. If nothing else, we can improvise coughing together. I know this sounds like one of those things that only I would find musically stimulating & amusing but...

"Medical Police State Improv in wch we don't try to Sooth the Savage Beast w/ Schmaltz": It's my feeling that I'm currently living in a world that's been artificially divided into people who believe that the quarantine is 'for our own good' & those who believe it an oppression. Furthermore, many or most people in these 2 camps believe that everyone of one of these opinions all thinks in exactly the same way. Almost all nuance seems to be gone. There's a vehemence &...

Radio 2010: Thanks to poet/poem Amy Catanzano, I was in Boulder to perform at the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University - a place that I'd wanted to do something at for decades because of its association with such great writers as Allen Ginsberg & William S. Burroughs. Thanks also to Amy, a chapbook of mine called "vii" ("seven" in Roman numerals) had been produced for the occasion. After not having seen my charming old friend Little Fyodor...

Radio 1996: By January of 1996 I'd moved to Pittsburgh, the place that seems to now be my home. When I 1st arrived, I was largely ignored. One of the few people to express any interest in doing anything with me was Ed-Um Bucholtz who had a radio program on WRCT, the station of Carnegie-Mellon University, a station that's still one of my favorites to this day. I was teaching my girlfriend of the time to play guitar. Because of this, I'd composed a piece called "Past Life Regression"...

"I Told You So": I was invited by Mr. Funky to contribute something no longer than 5 minutes to an event about "the future" at the Glitter Box Theater inside the Bloomcraft Building on September 28, 2019. The Bloomcraft Building was, as I understood it, originally conceived of as an ambitious cooperative paid for by one individual who was to be reimbursed in order for the building to be owned collectively. This isn't what happened & the owner has sold the building. ...

Over a 4 hr period, Gerry Fialka interviews tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE over the phone using a series of prepared questions largely revolving around quotes from various mostly 20th century prominent cultural thinkers. Initially fraught w/ technical problems eventually concluded to be from phone card time running out, the interview is interrupted & recording quality varies. The 4 hrs produced the 2:37:57 presented here. Fialka is a film & video programmer, PXL-2000 movie-maker,...
